No earlier than 2027: fresh rumors about the release date of Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe

Insider NateTheHate says Assassin's Creed Codename Hexe probably won't show up before H2 2027. He argues Ubisoft has little incentive to hurry an announcement; the project was flagged on the franchise roadmap back in 2022, then mostly disappeared from public view.

Rumors point to Ubisoft Montréal as the dev. team, with a story set amid the grim witch-hunt atmosphere of the Holy Roman Empire, c. 16th–17th c. Instead of the sprawling RPG format used lately, Hexe is said to favor a tighter narrative, leaning into stealth and survival mechanics.

Hexe also sits alongside other Assassin’s Creed efforts—Animus Hub, the multiplayer Invictus, mobile Jade, plus several remakes—part of a busy slate that feels less like a single plan and more like a cluster of bets. Whether fans want a smaller, moodier entry is another question; I’m curious to see which direction Ubisoft actually takes.
